Don't forget to follow us on social media to keep up to date with more adventures. Facebook Instagram twitter


The Summer holidays are almost here for those who are in mainstream schooling. Although our boys are home educated they do have a bit of a break over the summer and like joining in with every day clubs and activities like others. I have found some great clubs taking place this summer and it will be great to see kids just having fun again after the last year.

Please make sure you check each individual business for more info or to book.
